Just over half of interviewees (51%) in a Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University study, who identified as “people of faith,” responded that they are likely to vote in the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The “people of faith” label is given to those who identify with a recognized religion, such as Christianity, Judaism, Mormonism or Islam.

The study found that approximately 104 million people under the “people of faith” umbrella are not expected to vote this election, including 41 million born-again Christians and 32 million who regularly go to church.

    You get handed a bag of snakes, all are lethal, and they demand you pick one. I just have to pass on the snake bite. We are slaves to them, and this is an illusion of the freedom of choice, nothing more.

      A Republican rep from Indian wants mixed race marriage to be a state matter. I am white, my partner is Mexican. If he gets what he wants, our relationship will be a crime in at least his state.

      There are no Democrats openly advocating for my marriage to be a crime.

      It seems not all of those snakes aim to kill me.

      That’s not how it is though, is it. By not voting you are not exempting yourself from political life, you just choose not to matter.

      You are not passing on the snake bite. You are letting others choose the snake for you.

        …you just choose not to matter.

        Yes, this is the best way to live. Pretending to matter is what creates all the bullshit around us.

          Sure, man. Be uninterested in politics if you like, but don’t think for a second that this will make politics uninterested in you.

            I’m a queer disabled immigrant. I know that humans generally hate me. If you wait long enough, though, humans will destroy themselves.

              Our civilization is only a couple millenia old, we existed in a stone age for the overwhelming majority of our existence. We may set ourselves back but I severely doubt we will destroy ourselves.

      Muh both sides bad. All available snakes are venomous. Therefore instead of choosing the least venomous (possibly survivable) snake, instead wait for the most venomous snake to slither up your own colon so you can look it in the eyes.

        I’m tired of participating in a system where there is nothing I can do to stop people harming people. Can we just hurry up climate change and end this already? I wish there were a weapon that removed only humans, it’s sad you have to bring other life forms into this.
